Living in Your True Identity: Discover, Embrace, and Develop Your Own Divine Nature Paperback – December 8, 2022

Brooke Snow, you are inspired, inspiring, and an amazing woman! I know we’ve never met and it is now on my bucket list to meet you someday, but I must tell you what a difference it has made in my life to read your book "Living in Your True Identity" and to listen to the Brooke Snow Podcasts!I feel at least 10 times more intentional in the choices I make, in the ways I choose to feel and observe my life and the lives of my loved ones. After I have listened to you on your podcasts or I’ve re-read sections of your book (I’ve only had it two weeks), I envision you when you were writing. You’re near your computer and your head is bowed as you pray for those of us listening and to be guided in what you write/say. Thank you!I started listening to your podcasts with a suggestion from my mother. I listened to “Floors and Ceilings.” It is still in my top five. I even purchased the book you talked about, which has a 16 week wait time at my library, and read it. But it did not touch how inspired I felt coming away from that one podcast. I’ve incorporated a lot of floors. I love to sing so as I shower each night I sing warm-ups as a singing floor. Three squats as a workout floor and a few more. Small steps.Then I listened to your most popular “Holding Space” and I went to the doctor for my son. I could tell the doctor and nurse were both holding some feelings of dissatisfaction when I walked in, but I felt inspired to “hold my space” and my son suddenly perked up and asked questions and the feeling in the room changed completely. The doctor wanted to help us. He checked more than the basics. He did more tests. I thanked the doctor for his help, but inside my mind I was a prayer of gratitude for having my son be taken seriously by this medical practitioner and that I held my space.Then, I thought I had better order your book. I listened to a few chapters on your podcasts, as long as they are available, and your voice etched with enthusiasm, love, hope, courage, conviction and more love is the voice I hear as I read (and re-read) your book and underline and mark the pages that truly speak to my soul. Your quotes decorate my planner and fill my mind with joy.This morning as I was getting ready, my mind reflected on a past mistake and rather than ruminate in it I took some deep breaths and each breath reminded myself, “I love and accept you, Melanie” and within a few breaths I felt like myself again.Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The self-help world has taken Jesus completely out of the equation. If you’ve connected with principles from the self-help world but wondered how they fit into your faith, this is the book for you.Every chapter is chock full of stories, scriptures, and practical tools for reclaiming your life from the kind of guilt and anxiety that Jesus never meant for us to be permanently stuck in.Brooke offers insights that you’ve likely never considered and the kinds of practical, doable daily practices that will inspire your life and improve your relationship with yourself, Jesus, your Heavenly Parents.I’ve been practicing many of these tools consistently and to say they’ve been life changing is shortchanging their power in my life.Brooke brings the world of self-help and the power of Christ into a book that gives greater understanding to both.You will never be the same if you begin the practices she outlines. When you’ve practiced these tools for a consistent period of time, you will look back on yourself and your relationship with God and be astounded at how you :•feel greater personal wholeness•worry less•notice drama begins to leave your life•experience more peace•become more aware•are in better relationship with yourself and others, feel less out of control•know what to do and have a map/reference guide when you experience difficult or challenging emotions.There are many practices in this book you’ve probably heard of before if you’ve been in the self-help world for long.The difference in this self-help book is that you’re not alone! The gospel insight and power of Christ that is introduced to these long known tools of the self-help world will deepen your faith and motivate you to access Christ healing and strengthen power like never before.I love Brooke’s take on her Breath of Life meditation, prayer visualization, and so much more!This book is not a ‘one and done’ book. You will reference its pages again and again as you reclaim your life from fear, wondering what others think, comparison, worry, or whatever you are consumed by at the moment.It’s time to bring Jesus’s power into your self-help transformation journey.

When I read the title of this book, my initial thought was, "I don't really think I have a problem with identity". After all, I'm gratefully a work from home mother, and feel sure in my decisions in life and feel very blessed. It only took the first 2 pages for me to realize there was far more to understanding my identity than I had perceived, and I had lessons to learn from Brooke that would no doubt improve my life. I was afraid of feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of changing so many life long thoughts and actions, but Brooke has such a way of putting things into words and action steps without an ounce of overwhelm. In fact, she makes me feel like I can be 100% successful at achieving the eternal perspective and assurances of who I am and my true potential. One of my favorite phrases from this book is, "when you truly understand who you are, you also understand who your neighbor is." That's the power of the book, really. To help us understand our identity and in return do so much good in the world as neighbors, parents, friends and family. I'm most motivated to apply the principles she teaches so that I can raise my kids to better understand their identity, as I am much more aware now for how important that really is. Brooke is one of the most insightful and inspirational women I have ever known. You will ADORE and TREASURE her wisdom!

I really enjoy Brooke’s podcast and I needed this book in my life. It fills me with joy and faith and gives me strength to pursue my purpose.

Worth the read.
